Oh- see the drawing of the dragon'ish circular image above? I saw a billboard going towards Charlotte NC yesterday that had a similar image that was a silver bracelet (or ear rings - not sure which) but they looked awesome! I wrote down the designer and the jewelry store...

might have to check that out ladies!

It appeared to be one of those pieces of jewelry that may take up gifts for the next four years though...

any jewelry designers out there that could make something like that for less?

Carol! I have found you thru Dj and I love all of your drawings and sketches. You ahve inspired me. We leave tomorrow for a week on the outer banks of N.C. our firs trip. I am going to take my new journal with me and a few writing and drawing implements and I WILL DRAW EVERY DAY!!!You seem to love children's book art- as do I. there is a wonderful new Museum of Children's Literature Artwork up near Williamstown MA. Lots of Eric Carle and Maurice Sendack and Tomis Depaola!! Cool Beans!! I ahve yet to go butit is on my list!!Love you blog!!Elizabeth

Carol, I wear many hats, and among them is that of Librarian. When I worked in public libraries, and did library tours, I always told the "tourists" that the children's section was not just shelves of wonderful books, it was also a gallery. Every picture book contains amazing art. You can get lost in the picture book section for hours.(And I have not even mentioned the Junior Non-fiction section.)

Isn't it true, that to get good at something you have to actually practice. Some things just "ain't instant!"

You've obviously done your share of practicing and these drawings prove your admirable skill. I also have sons who draw, which makes it even more fun.

About Me

Creating art is like breathing to me. Everywhere I go, everything I do, everything I see becomes fodder for my artwork. It's just the way that I see, the way that I look at life.
In photos of me as a young child, I was always clutching a crumpled paper bag. Those bags were chock full of treasures- feathers, rocks, leaves and all sorts of ephemera.
As an adult, I do the same thing.
I am a collector of things, nature lover and creator of odd little works of art.
I draw. I paint. I love textiles and layers of texture. I'd love for you to follow, join or play along with me as I trip trap through this thing called life.
If I'm not elbow deep in paint or fiber, I'll be knee deep in water, kayaking with my husband.
